Where this will help is come tax season. It will only increase the deductibility of your expenses.
$2.70 is your negotiated international per diem, why would they pay more? Our international training per diem has to be negotiated. As of right now we don't have an amount for that.

No we don't. I understand what you were saying but ours still has to be negotiated.

If they offer seat supports for critical pay to Pairs, I'm totally in! But to the new hires... have fun sitting middle seat coach for 10 hours and spending all your per diem by breakfast

Yeah, but you don't get per diem in training anyway and the euro is so weak right now it's a wash. Plus free trip to Paris. Like you'll really be busy that week? No.. Sims was probably the phase I was least busy. I had plenty of free time, as you already know flows callouts etc at that point so...

That's only because our training is in MSP and new hires are based in MSP. If you do sims anywhere other than MSP you will get per diem. If you don't, hash it out with payroll. Its in the contract.

And then RAH filed for bankruptcy protection. Think that's a coincidence?

How many current, active pilots on the roster? CPZ page here on APC says 687 as of Dec. 31, 2015.
